Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care addresses mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, focusing on spinal adjustments and joint mobilisation. We treat back pain, neck pain, and sciatica through manual therapies combined with soft tissue techniques. Each treatment plan includes lifestyle advice and exercise programmes to enhance recovery and prevent recurrence, delivered with a commitment to patient education and active participation in their care.
Spinal Adjustments
Specialising in precise spinal adjustments using Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), we restore proper alignment and mobility to the spine. This gentle, diagnostic approach addresses nerve compression and postural imbalances. Regular adjustments help maintain optimal spinal function, reduce pain, and improve overall wellbeing through targeted interventions supported by continuous progress monitoring during each visit.
Sciatica Treatment
We provide targeted treatment for sciatica caused by mechanical issues, combining spinal adjustments with soft tissue therapy. Our approach reduces nerve irritation and muscle tension while improving mobility. Patients receive specific exercises to support recovery and prevent recurrence, with clear guidance on when medical referral may be necessary for pathological cases.
Postural Correction
Our postural correction programme addresses imbalances through spinal adjustments, muscle release techniques, and tailored exercise plans. We assess individual biomechanics to develop interventions that improve alignment, reduce strain, and prevent chronic pain. Education on ergonomic adjustments and movement patterns supports long-term postural health improvements.
Rehabilitation Programmes
Custom rehabilitation programmes combine manual therapies with progressive exercise regimens to restore function after injury. We focus on rebuilding strength, flexibility, and mobility through structured protocols. Each plan includes home exercises and lifestyle modifications to accelerate recovery, with regular reassessments ensuring optimal progress towards specific rehabilitation goals.
